Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disease. Due to the lack, deficiency and unresponsiveness of thyroid hormone, the metabolic activity of human body decreases. Hypothyroidism can occur in people of any age. Because the symptoms are not obvious, it is easy to be ignored or mistaken for other conditions, such as pregnancy, menopause or depression. For example, memory loss is often regarded by patients as an inevitable phenomenon in old age. With the gradual extension of the onset time, physical weakness, hair loss and other phenomena will gradually appear.

? Second, the following people are more likely to get hypothyroidism.

? With the accelerated pace of people's life, the incidence of hypothyroidism is getting higher and higher. What kind of people are more prone to hypothyroidism? Next, let's comb it together.

First, people who have suffered from thyroid diseases. First of all, people who have had thyroid surgery. Because partial thyroidectomy will affect the normal secretion of thyroid; Secondly, people who have had thyroiditis. If the drug is used improperly, it will also cause secondary hypothyroidism. I have a female colleague who has just joined the work and is very young. After being diagnosed with severe thyroid disease in the physical examination organized by the participating units, she went to Beijing Hospital for partial thyroidectomy in time. In the second year of physical examination, I found hypothyroidism again. I didn't know until I asked the doctor that it was because she had partial thyroidectomy, which affected the normal secretion of thyroid gland, so she suffered from hypothyroidism.

The second type is an over-dieter. First of all, the reduction of calorie intake will cause metabolic disorder, leading to decreased thyroid function and easy to suffer from hypothyroidism; Secondly, it is because some dieters over-diet in order to achieve slimming effect. However, this side effect may even be permanent and prone to hypothyroidism. Losing weight is a beautiful yearning, but losing weight depends on the right way of exercise, not excessive dieting. The way to lose weight healthily is the correct exercise mode and good habits. Therefore, excessive dieting can not only lose weight, but also increase hypothyroidism.

The third is people over 60. According to relevant medical literature statistics, the first group of hypothyroidism is adults over 60 years old. Because with the increase of age, the functions of various organs of these people are deteriorating. Therefore, due to the decline of their own physical indicators and life and other reasons, the elderly will also lead to the gradual decline of thyroid function. I have a classmate's old father who is 70 years old. Some time ago, his face and ankle were edema, accompanied by myalgia, joint pain and other symptoms. After hospitalization, it was diagnosed as hypothyroidism. Ask a doctor to know that it is because thyroid organs are related to other organs, including the heart and kidneys, which lead to thyroid organ failure during the decline process, thus suffering from hypothyroidism.

Fourth, excessive estrogen intake leads to hypothyroidism. As we all know, estrogen is used to maintain the basic signs of women. However, some women want to increase the intake of estrogen and take a lot of health care products. Although the estrogen index goes up after taking health care products, excessive intake of estrogen will limit thyroid function and lead to hypothyroidism.

Expanding knowledge: how to prevent hypothyroidism from diet

First, reasonably determine the carbohydrate, protein and fat content in the diet, and eat more foods with high cellulose content.

Second, try to eat less foods with high cholesterol content, such as animal offal, and don't eat salty foods, such as salted fish and pickles.

The third is to try not to exercise on an empty stomach.
